Actually, just /sudo aptitude install vim-full.

among other things, vim --version lists the capabilities of the
installed version .. includes syntax highlighting.
see also ":help ve" in vim.
Other things the OP could check:
:set compatible?
:set t_Co?
:echo g:colors_name
vim-full is the package I needed to get vim syntax coloring working. I'm
just suggesting the OP try to install it and see if it works, especially
considering it /is/ on the Debian repositories.
I had the same problem on Ubuntu a while back, and it took me a week
to figure out how to get syntax highlighting to work.
You should have posted on the vim@vim.org mailing list.
Thanks,

I'm not asking for help, I'm offering it. I think the problem is just a
Debian based distro thing, because none of them come with vim-full
installed by default (As far as I know). vim-full is the package you
need to enable the extra things, for example my output from installing
vim-full says that I'm missing a few libraries and packages to get vim
/fully/ working.
